I wasn't expecting that...

All of my gym clothes except my über short running shorts need to be washed, but I still want to go to the gym after work, so I went shopping over lunch. I've never been much of a sweatpants wearer, but the temperatures are dropping so I thought I'd give sweatpants a try.

I'm at work, so I need to skip the story telling and get straight to the point. Swedish sweatpants are not baggy! Yes, I did try on multiple sizes to make sure it wasn't just me. I know Swedish men like their tight-fitting clothes, but every once in a while something like this provides a shocking reminder that this really is a foreign land.

In case you're wondering, I bought a pair. I'm trying to talk Miranda into turning this into a Swedish fashion blog (all the rage here over here), and if she agrees, a picture of these sweatpants might find its way into a future blog post.

Fall happenings

There isn't really too much to report on these days, but we did host a few open houses for our landlord recently (he is selling when our lease is up). We're a little bummed to be moving again, because moving is never fun, but glad to have already found another apartment in Uppsala for December through May. Anyway, our place cleaned up pretty nicely for the showings, and I always feel inclined to take pictures on the good days.

In other news, now that the fall season is officially upon us, Scott's busy season at work is starting to kick in. My slow start to the semester (which was just one class) is also wrapping up this week, and I'll soon begin the next new round of courses. To celebrate/combat the cool weather, I picked up a "new" coat at one the second-hand stores in town and a new hat and scarf from H&M. My husband, meanwhile, has been mainly gearing up for this fall weather with a handsome new beard to protect his face while biking.

(And yes, he really did pull two bananas from his pockets just before I took this photo.)
